When is the turnover date of Grand Soho
Makati?
The estimated turnover date of Grand Soho Makati
is December 2009.
Why should I buy now when the turnover
date is still 2009?
GSM is on its pre-selling stage. It means Century
Properties is selling the property during its construction period. This means huge savings for the clients. Buying a property
at its pre-selling stage is more affordable compared to a finished project.
That is why we encourage you to invest now while
the prices are still low. By the time your unit is finished, you will be assured of its value appreciation.
Century usually increases its prices every 1- 2
months.
